Just want to brag about my MPG. I'm driving consistently with reported 36.4 mpg for some months now. Typical trip is 20-30 miles, get on the freeway through city, get off freeway drive through city to destination. This is with a few extra hundred pounds from hitch, kilmat, bull guard, and other random crap as well as anti-aero addons such as mudflaps and ssd roof rails.
Having developed a familiarity with the cvt computer I've found certain actions to be mpg inefficient and avoid them altogether. An example would be trying to overtake someone up a hill, with 152hp, a fail in every regard. Better wait for the downhill and do it at 40mpg. Similarly there are speeds and inclines and rmp which the computer likes and is efficient at, and others that it is inefficient at. I consider and act upon these as I drive as well as making other maneuvers, such as not accelerating at red lights and not hitting my brakes on the freeway (you can just let go of the gas!).
Lastly, I've been filling up with 91 octane since filing a lawsuit against SOA for falsifying their octane data (which we are settling at $4500). Filling with 91 allows me to ride at lower RPMs in suburban streets with low speed limits without triggering a horrific pinging noise that would occur with 87/89.
And, finally, on every fill-up I add MMO at 2oz/5Gal or TCW-3 at 1oz/5Gal which give about a 5% overall mpg increase. You can find more on using TCW-3 here. On another subject, the MMO used to be $8 and TCW-3 used to be $14 less than a year ago.
